here's some advice buddy, slow down a notch and let folks answer the half dozen other threads you've started on the same topic.  not being mean nor insulting, just trying to help a brother out!  

on that note, i own a fury and it's a great rod.  zodias felt like a pretty solid rod when i held it in a local store, but nothing special and not worth the extra $ especially if you're getting the fury for $85 as you said in another post.  

and a lew's lfs isn't really a cheap reel.  i don't own an LFS, but have 3 lew's casting reels and they're all solid performers.

Yea I know, I'm doing a lot of high school bass fishing tournaments right and I'm getting ready to go to pick wick lake for the world finals, and I'm looking for a good lightJig/ spinner bait Rod and don't know what to get.

In general for bottom contact I'd go with the most sensitive rods.  For moving baits I'd go less sensitive.  I haven't fish either of those rods, but going by price and feedback the Zodias would be better for bottom contact and the fury would be fine for moving/reaction baits.
